Who doesn't enjoy a night out at the movies? Grabbing popcorn and a soda, reclining in your assigned seat, and basking in two hours of pure entertainment. But some individuals take their love of cinema to the next level. They truly adore all things Movie - from production, cinematography, and scripts to characters, actors, and set design. If this is you, take a moment to test your film knowledge with these trivia questions.

We’ve taken a pretty generalized approach to these questions. They aren’t too easy, but they aren't too hard, either. Each question refers to box-office successes, so none of the questions focus on obscure films. Answer them on your own or quiz family and friends!
